Sydney Harbour to Boise

So I managed to find my way to Sydney and was really early for the ferry. The gate was not even open but we waited and soon there were more and more of us. Got through customs . It was a great ride through the channel and I finally saw Orcas island. We even had a whale sighting. A great gray.

Waiting. That is Jennifer with her back to us.

On the ferry

Lots of motorcycles. Upstairs I managed to entertain during the crossing. DeeDee said that Terry from Seattle who is a really nice young man was blushing. Ah well.

Orcas Island where Bob lives. On my bucket list.

Coming in to Anacortes. From here I rode the North Cascades Highway to Winthrop and then dropped south towards Wenatchee. It was getting dark so at Lake Pateros I got a lovely motel room.

I stopped here for dinner and had a buffalo burger. Cool place.

View from my room over Lake Pateros. Just beautiful.

I would have loved to tarry here awhile but my friends were expecting me in Boise.

Once I left Pateros and got to Wenatchee I got to I 84 and wanted to get to the place where it connects with I 82 which goes right in to Boise. In true Marg fashion I had no idea which way to go so took the first exit and bought a map. Dave met me not far from their place and we found my tires were delaminating. Not a good thing . So made an appointment to get new tires at the BMW shop. I had a wonderful visit and several days later Dave escorted me south and we had lunch a small town in Idaho. When I arrived Dave and Bonnie were apologizing because they were having the same thing for dinner they had a year before when I arrived. I told them if it was the stuffed zucchinis we had I had been dreaming about them for the last 100 miles. It was and they were just great.
